//------------------------------// // Meeting the Princesses // Story: Pets N' Ponies // by ShopperBrony90 //------------------------------// Dear Twilight, I have heard about the talking pets and the pony from an alternate dimension. I would be pleased to meet them. Go to Canterlot and meet me at my castle. You may tell me their names, personalities, hobbies, and other stuff. Me and my sister would be more than pleased for you to tell them about your wonderous adventures. Princess Celestia "Well, it looks like we're going to Canterlot!" Twilight exclaimed. Blythe looked puzzled. "Where exactly is 'Canterlot'?" Rarity gasped. "How can you possibly not know what Canterlot is?" Blythe stepped back. "Umm..." The following morning, they took a train to Canterlot, Twilight and Russell read a book together. Rarity and Zoe talked about fashion. Pinkie and Minka fired Pinkie's party cannon. Vinnie and Rainbow showed each other their moves. Penny Ling and Fluttershy watched Sunil practice his tricks. Pepper and Applejack shared an apple pie. Once they got there, they went straight to the castle. "Twilight! How do I look? I can't stand meeting more princesses! I'll crack under pressure! I can't do this!" Russell gulped a lump in his throat. "Aw, Russell. Y'all are more scared than a balloon at a porcupine party!" Applejack patted him on the back. "Don't fret. The princesses are really nice. They don't care how you look. Well, someone might." Applejack looked at Rarity. "You can do this. It's just meetin' a princess. Honest." The pets, Spike, and the ponies looked at the big door. Twilight knocked on the door. A Pegasus guard opened the door. "Princess Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said as they went in. After climbing up many stairways and passing through many corridors, they finally reached the Princesses' Room. Russell gulped another lump as they went inside. "Good morning, Twilight." Celestia greeted. She noticed the pale-blue pony and the talking pet as they walked inside. "I believe these are your new friends?" Twilight nodded. "Yes. This is-" Twilight was interrupted by which seemed like another princess. "Twilight?" The alicorn looked at Twilight. "Cadence!" Twilight walked towards Cadence and sang: Sunshine, Sunshine! Ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves And do a little shake! They laughed together as they fell down on the floor. Nothing came out of the pets' mouth. Nothing. "Oh, this is Cadence. She was my foal sitter when I was a filly!" Twilight explained. "We had so many fun memories!" Cadence continued. "Oh, hello, your highness- er, your magisty." Blythe bowed down to the princesses. "Whatever. I'm Blythe. But my pony name is Shimmer Spool." "Hi, uh, I'm Pepper-Pepper Clark. Er, just Pepper." "Yo yo, I'm Vinnie. Princess Selena, right? And Princess Oona?" Twilight facepalmed herself. "Hello. I am Sunil. Vinnie here is not very bright, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." "Hi, I'm Zoe. Think of me as the diva here." Zoe fixed her fur. "Oh, hello Princess Celestia! My name is Penny Ling!" "Hi hi hi hi hi! My name is Minka, and do you think you could lend me your pretty necklace because it is so so SO shiny and I like love shiny things!" Everyone looked at Russell waiting for him to say something, but all he said was "Russell. My name is Russell." Then, he shut his mouth and closed his eyes tightly. He turned his head away from the princesses and stayed like that for at least 5 seconds. Twilight trotted over to Russell and patted his head. He opened his eye."C'mon, every pony. Wanna meet Flurry Heart?" All the pets nodded. Russell shrugged. They all followed Twilight over to a lavender baby alicorn. "Meet Flurry Heart." Twilight tickled Flurry in the tummy as all the other pets crowded around her. "Aww!" "She's so cute." "Coochie-coochie coo!" After a while, the pets and ponies left Canterlot and headed back to Ponyville. "Flurry is so cute!" exclaimed Penny Ling. "Will we see her again?" All the other pets agreed. "She is so cute!" "I miss her already!" "Please? Can we?" Twilight chuckled. "Sure.
